Re: [platform-update-dev] Point Releases vs. Integration Builds

Hi Nick,

As long as features and plugins have
different versions from build to build, you can use the update manager
to upgrade. In particular, if your build is 2.0.0.build_id and the build_id
is lexicographically increasing, the you should be able to use update mgr.
However, the current eclipse builds
have the same versions (mostly 3.0.0, with some variations for ant, lucene,
tomcat, etc.) across the builds, so update mgr cannot be used to move from
build to build. There is a test site (http://update.eclipse.org/testUpdates)
that has integration builds with different feature and plugin versions
(3.0.0.<build_id> for features and 3.0.0.<cvs tag> for plugins),

There have been discussions in the past
and a to do item for post 3.0 to manage plugin and feature versions so
update manager can be used to move from build to build.

Dorian (et al.):

Dejan Glozic suggested I post this question here.

Is it possible to use Update Manager with Integration or Milestone builds?
That is, could we publish a 2.0.0 I200404221255 driver, and have that
update the older I200404080727 version from two weeks before?

Or does Update Manager only notice version differences between 2.0.0 and
2.0.1 (the jar filenames), and thus integration/milestone builds between
point releases cannot be automatically found & updated this way? Could
file
lastmod date be used instead of file name?

Thanks,
